DESCRIPTION:Porcelain was perhaps the most surprising material to be used 
 for propaganda art following the Russian Revolution. The Imperial Porcelai
 n Factory\, founded in the mid 18th century\, was requisitioned by the Sta
 te\, and some of the most talented avant-garde artists of the age were set
  to work there. The result was a strikingly original and distinctive art f
 orm that retains its freshness and vitality to this day. \n\nPetr Aven is 
 an economist\, businessman and art collector. Chair of Alfabank for many y
 ears\, he is author of several articles and books on the Russian economy\,
  and he holds a Chair at Moscow’s Higher School of Economics.  Ceramics 
 from his collection formed part of the “Revolution” exhibition at the 
 Royal Academy in 2017.\n\nAll welcome!
